TONE Gym and weight lifting area.

Children’s programmes are designed to educate and entertain children in a safe environment and are offered during peak periods. In-room babysitting is available on request so parents can relax and enjoy adult facilities. Desroches is a family adventure Island, safe to explore and enjoy.

Gut ided na ure walks The resident conservation team offer guided informative nature walks around the island where guests can learn about current research projects and the endangered fauna and flora species on the island. Down Under... Scuba diving with friendly and attentive professionals, exploring the 14 classified sites, including the mysterious underwater caves and columns. PADI diving courses (in English or French) are offered at the hotels dive centre. Deep sea diving off the world renowned Desroches ‘drop-off’. Guided snorkelling trips offer the opportunity of viewing turtles gliding between shoals of multicoloured fish. TOP 5 DIVE SITES Activities Canyon: This is a formation of big stone blocks with some excellent swimming troughs and a real canyon (long and narrow) where lots of soft corals and gorgonian fan corals grow. The fish life is remarkable on this dive site: big shoals of snappers and fusiliers, sweetlips, sleeping stingrays and especially nurse sharks – which enjoy this spot for a little nap underneath the big rocks. Big Cave: The challenge for every experienced diver – it is both deep and dark. The long tunnel is 6m wide and goes straight into the reef wall – ending after 60m in a big round room. Sometimes we come across sleeping nurse sharks here or turtles that were searching for a quiet place to rest. The best part is on the way back when you see the entrance again – a blue hole with terrific light showing your way back to reality. Airport Reef: This features a large overhang which is the main area to explore on this dive site. Come across one of the famous sea grass pipefish living together with Napoleons and Bumphead Parrotfish. Grey reef sharks and turtles may also swim your way. The rest of the w all is completely covered with many colourful soft corals. Secret Passage: Away from the main reef we find a huge rock with a secret passage that leads as a tunnel from 24m up to 18m inside. It is home to many lionfish, lobsters and glassfish. Once outside again, the water is full of fusiliers, snappers and young barracuda. Mini Wall: While drifting along this beautiful wall explore the larger and smaller overhangs which are full of soft corals and gorgonian fan corals. Spot special kinds of nudibranches or snails as well as a variety of moray eels. In the open water eagle rays, turtles and napoleons are often encountered.

Scuba diving and snorkeling is also offered to the nearby St Joseph’s Atoll as well as Poivre. The boat ride across to these islands is around 1 hour and one usually gets to see spectacular jumps from the many spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and the odd whale on the ride across.

for FURTHER information please enquire about our Cast-A-Way Fact SheeT Fish... BIG GAME FISHING Desroches offers outstanding big game fishing with hard-fighting adversaries such as Wahoo, Kingfish, Activities Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, Dorado, Bonefish, Giant and Bluefin Trevally, Green and Rosy Jobfish and a large variety of Grouper.

SALT WATER FLY-FISHING Some of the best fly fishing in the world can be enjoyed on the outer islands, with an abundance of Bone-fish, Permit and Trevally species to target on fly; while you simply get ‘lost’ in the utter beauty of the extensive shoreline surroundings.

Fly Fishing is operated by the internationally renowned ‘Untamed Angling’ team. The fishing season on Desroches Island runs from mid October to the end of April.

The island lies outside the cyclone belt. The weather is tropical, and March and April are the hottest months but shade temperature seldom exceeds 30˚. Tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever are unknown.

The guides are all professionals and have a comprehensive knowledge of the areas in which they operate, having worked there for several seasons. The joy of fly fishing is that one can explore our neighbouring islands especially Poivre and St Joseph where the best fly fishing experiences occur.

Neighbouring Island Trips Visit the neighbouring islands of Poivre and St Josephs, on day trips which allow you to explore the outer islands of the Amirantes Archipelago. This features some of the most pristine, untouched islands in the world, only between 45mins to 75mins away from Desroches.
